My first attempt at a BSP could best be described as the shit you'd scrape off your boots.

Might give it another shot at some stage.

OK, the red base is finished now. First pic shows the new small chamber linking the base room to the main church interior. I may put a dynamic light there later on if the fps for the area is good. Also new are the four coloured medieval banners pinned up around the base walls.

Just one question: How did you make the bump maps?
I make all of mine (which happens to be a very small list) by modeling the object first and applying a gradient to it, and that forms my heightmap.

What do you do?

You WIN. It's that simple.

If you haven't checked out my tutorial, it's here: http://earthenrecords.com/bumpmaptut/intro.htm

I totally ignore what the model will be and concentrate on the texture and what I want to achieve. It's usually a mixture of techniques and filters to bring out the heightmap using the original texture and then using layers to hand draw sections that I want to be deep/raised, changing the opacity accordingly. But with some textures I don't do that at all. It just depends.

Wow.
If it was straying from the traditional concept of what could be considered a "church" before, then it has now officially turned upside down.

Awesome.
Especially with the torches.
Now, fire in Halo will actually look like flames.
Please tell me you'll open source those fire effects.

That's just a standard Halo fire, I think... but it looks amazing.

1. Lag is caused by stuff that makes the server slow.
2. Bump maps have nothing to do with the server.
3. Bump maps actually make it faster (would you rather have every piece modeled in there?)

So, no, it wouldn't cause lag. Wouldn't even make it slower. Every texture in Halo has a bump map, just these are like fricken' huge ones.

Stuff like this is now the only reason I fire up Halo at all, pretty much. I jumped ship, too many idiots, the community has descended into a bottomless pit of suck =/

Whew, all of the lighting for the red base is done and the proper cubemaps have been made. It looks so damn nice I made a short, high quality video for you. Notice how I timed it so the 15 minute timer verfies that this is in fact Halo? (OK, that was a total accident)

Hey I like the picture but how much ram do you need to watch the video? I got all programs closed and it still says "Your computer is running low on memory. Quit other programs, and then try again." I even restarted my computer.
